Mike Morse — Securing $75 Million in Wrongful Death Poisoning Case

from Trial Lawyers University

After years of settling cases out of court, Mike Morse represented the parents of a college student who died at a friend’s house when he took a high dose of “molly,” or MDMA, that he was told was Adderall. The young man’s friends videotaped him and posted videos to Snapchat of him struggling under the effects of the drug, but they didn’t call for help until after he died. Tearing up when the student’s parents told him the story, Mike agreed to take the case. But he hadn’t tried a case before a jury in 15 years, so he hired a jury consultant and coach and began listening to recordings, through Trial Lawyers University, of attorneys explaining how they won their cases.Listen as Mike describes how he picked a jury, tried the case, and secured $75 million. He also reflects on a different case in which he secured the release of his client who had been wrongfully convicted.  Train and Connect with the Titans☑️ Mike Morse | LinkedIn | Email☑️ 855MikeWins | Instagram | LinkedIn | YouTube | X | Facebook | Podcast☑️ TLU VEGAS☑️ Trial Lawyers University☑️ TLU On Demand Instant access to live lectures, case analysis, and skills training videos☑️ TLU on X | Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn☑️ Subscribe Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTubeEpisode SnapshotWhy background mattered in Mike’s case representing the parents of a 21-year-old man who died after ingesting “molly” – which his friends said was Adderall. How charges were dismissed during the criminal trial because of prosecutorial misconduct.Why Mike hired a jury consultant who also coached him on how to present his case.Why Mike told prospective jurors that the case was about poisoning, not a drug overdose.Why Mike decided to show jurors the video of the victim after he took the drug. How jurors returned a $75 million verdict. Why Mike ranks his greatest success as a pro bono case where his wrongfully convicted client was set free. Produced and Powered by LawPods

Chinook Realm Religion and crime collide when a gruesome murder rocks the isolated community of Chinook, Montana. Local Deputy Ruth Vogel thought she was answering a routine animal control call, only to find a mangled corpse on the frozen embankment. Her small town is whipped into a frenzy and everyone is quick to point their fingers at a drug-addicted teenager, but Ruth suspects connections to a powerful religious group. Enter Agent Loro, an enigmatic FBI investigator tracking an evangelical cult that may have roots right here in Chinook. Loro and Ruth form a cautious partnership to find the killer—but as the mystery winds through Ruth’s life, her family, and her church, she’ll discover something more sinister than murder is afoot.Binge all episodes of Chinook exclusively and ad-free by joining Wondery+ in the Wondery App, Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
